But again… why be mad at China? They are making big investments in their own people and industries to boost their own country’s abilities and better their future.
Meanwhile the US is just trying to hamstring the rest of the world instead of doing better.
They’re living the American dream y’all used to aspire to.
Is it possible to automate? I looked at the Lamington docs briefly and it looked like it uses a file to store config. Thought if the config file was a symlink it would make it easy to change config to be private / be public.
Like this every 30 minutes or whatever. Obviously will require a bit more logic rather than constantly recreating symlinks… but yeah.
#!/bin/bash
THRESHOLD=1.5
CMD_HIGH="ln -sfn /blah/blah/config.json /blah/blah/config.json.private && systemctl restart lamington"
CMD_LOW="ln -sfn /blah/blah/config.json /blah/blah/config.json.public && systemctl restart lamington"
LOAD_15MIN=$(uptime | awk -F'[a-z]:' '{print $2}' | awk -F', ' '{print $3}' | tr -d ' ')
if (( $(echo "$LOAD_15MIN > $THRESHOLD" | bc -l) )); then
echo "[$(date)] High Load Detected - Current: $LOAD_15MIN, Threshold: $THRESHOLD"
echo "[$(date)] Taking Lamington private........ "
eval "$CMD_HIGH"
else
echo "[$(date)] Normal Load Detected - Current: $LOAD_15MIN, Threshold: $THRESHOLD"
echo "[$(date)] Returning Lamington to public... "
eval "$CMD_LOW"
fi
How come people get mad at the Chinese Government for assisting in building their industries, rather than getting mad at their own Governments for NOT assisting in building theirs?
Here’s another random tune recommendation from my list of “songs what I dont hear on the radio”
This is from Friendly - an Australian DJ who had a bit of a hit with a song called "I love you but… " that was pretty big back in the very early 00s.
This song is from the tail end of the Akimbo album which is another physical copy I actually bought (and then ripped to FLAC). It’s called “The Soundtrack To The Story Of My Life” and is very tuneful. Nothing like the booms and oonce-oonce of “I love you but…”.
The Soundtrack To The Story Of My Life
And just in case you want to be reminded of his big(gest) hit:
If you want a bit more Friendly, these are another two that were somewhat successful at the time:
My Mother Was A Deejay
Some Kind Of Love Song <-- (featuring Sia no less!)
Random thought - can you toggle private instance reasonably simply? I know nothing about running a Lamington stall, but if its a JSON file is it possible to have two versions and update a symlink to the version you want to use at the time?
The reason I ask is it would be pretty sneaky tricks to monitor server load and toggle to private when it exceeds a threshold for a fixed period of time, then toggle back (i.e. greater than 50% server load = private for the next 2 hours or whatever).
Alternatively, I’ll just put my vote in for going private.
Do people find the server organically through Google results or something else that may be impacted by the change? If there’s value in that there might be an argument against going private.
If enabling it reduces the need for server upgrades as time goes on I guess it’s a positive though. Don’t want to be paying extra server costs just to help out some AI company.
Sounds like Big Baby or the shadowy Gingers have got to you, making you all anti-Sporty.
Break their hold! Embrace the solo spice.
Were not going to get his daily going unless we comment on it.
I made a me-me about this a while back (eesh over a year ago!)…
That’s one fine looking daily thread… WHY DOESNT MINE LOOK LIKE THAT?
Since I’m still(!) on my Mel C radio binge, here’s a track that stands out I reckon. Just so tuneful. Is that a word? Cause that’s the word I’d use to describe it:

Also I bought a physical CD the other day! Couldnt find it on any of the streaming services or torrentybois, so ponied up the cash for a hard copy. Had to use my office server to rip the CD cause its literally the only device I own with a CD drive still. Luckily it runs Linux and I have shell access, so I just “abcde” it to FLAC and then uploaded to Youtube Music. Now I can stream it anywhere.

I’m having a mental blank… Or possibly I just invented a word that doesn’t exist once, and that’s why I can’t remember it now.
What’s the term for when someone has to come to grips with something happening that is the exact opposite to their beliefs?
For example, i I think all dual cab 4x4s are driven by wankers… But then one day, the driver of a dual cab does something courteous and I have to ??? the idea that a dual cab driver could be ok AND dual cab driver.
Consolidate? Reconcile?
Got an EV too - 85kw’ish of battery ready to roll.
Would love to soak it up over peak period, then recharge it overnight at off peak rates. Doing that alone would be a big saving.
I am very keen for batteries. We have 20’ish kw of solar and so much is wasted because of export limits. If I could pump all that waste in to a battery to use over the peak period of an afternoon/evening we’d greatly reduce our bills.
Deliveries (not even sales!) down by 13% since last year, following the fifth consecutive quarter of no growth… Line goes up 5%?
Please someone explain this meme stock.
I somehow got this today:
… I made one reply to a comment in /r/brisbane, which had no upvotes (mine or theirs).
That’s a top contributor now??
The worst part about April Fools is that after its finally all over here, the rest of the world starts their hilarious(?) pranks.
Anyway I’m going back to reddit. HA HA APRIL FOOLS man I got you good 😎
I’m always annoyed at pro-DST people who say they do all these activities “in the extra hours of daylight after work”…
It’s not extra HOURS… Its one extra hour!
Its basically the difference between driving home with your headlights on the whole way, or only half the way. You’re not suddenly having backyard parties and trips to the park with friends.
Pet peeve of the day: People who dont go to the end of merging lanes before merging.
If everyone just went to the end of the lane and zippered, traffic would flow so much nicer. Instead you get the people who dive in to traffic as soon as the dotted line appears… which means half a dozen cars go past them up the lane and at least another 1 or 2 of those people will also drop in to traffic prior before the end of the lane… which means instead of a nice 1:1 zipper at the end of a run that gives plenty of chance to match speed its more like 4:1 with 75% of them doing it with insufficient room which means people in traffic having to brake. And now you have the ripple effect causing a big slow down.
Well, thats one positive anecdote.
Here’s some negatives:

I will never understand what part of Trump politics appeals to “young men” (or anyone).
The bloke is a loser, yet just keeps bluffing and grifting his way to the top. How is that a trait you want to emulate?
Even in the article the kid says:
"I was watching TV, and he just came out, and told everybody what was going wrong.
… When did this happen? In which particular series of words that fell out of Trumps mouth during one of his insane ramblings did old mate get the impression this is what happened? It’s like seeing a portent in your bowl of spaghettios or something. Just because a brief moment of chance brought something together that appeared to make sense on the surface doesn’t mean you should ignore the 99% that doesn’t.
Nothing, cause I’d rather choose what to ignore on the fly rather than creating the same bubble I get stuck in on every other social media platform.
